Greetings everyone,
I am looking for, as the title says, a Mid-Tower case with good cooling capabilities (like 4-7 fan mounts BIGGER BUT FEWER MOUNTS IS BETTER), USB 3.0, and some nice aesthetics. LED fans or lighting would be nice, but isn't a necessity as I have already found some nice lighting in case the case I buy doesn't come with any lighting.

Here are some of my ideas so far:

Cooler Master HAF XM:

Corsair Carbide 300R:

NZXT Phantom 410:

Thanks very much to anyone who answers!

Hey M0j0jojo. Thanks for your opinion, I was wondering if I'd be able to mount a 120mm or 140mm and still have one drive available since there are 5 available slots (5.25"). Also, since there are no fan mounts pre-installed, how would I go about the mounting process?

I have a CM HAF 912 and i used zipties to mount my fan on the cd/dvd drive area.
 
The Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 would be a much better choice as it is of much higher quality than the HAF 922. It features 3 high quality fans and a fan controller too. It also has all of the dust filters you would need and can fit many coolers.

Watch this review and see why you should change your mind

What about the NZTX Phantom 410? It has more fan mounts than the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2, supports similar water cooling options, and overall I don't see a difference, even in price. In the looks department, this is just my personal opinion, the phantom 410 is more aesthetically appealing. Is there anything that makes the Arc Midi R2 better that I missed?
